Xiao Qianye saw the encircled Danzhen Palace from a distance, Minister Zuo wiped his sweat and kept walking back and forth, Gao Chengchuan held the sword of Emperor Yan and leaned on the pillar on the side, and even Prince Mingxi and Gongsun Yan were waiting outside with an anxious face.

As soon as the sword struck the viewing platform uncontrollably from his hand, he knew something was going to happen.

Seeing him come back alone, Gongsun Yan's heart instantly rose to his throat, and no matter what the people around him thought, he hurriedly caught him up and walked aside, and asked in a low voice: "Why did you come back alone?"

"Did you run away?" Gao Chengchuan looked at him coldly, as if he had already guessed such an ending, and asked, "Isn't the military pavilion master's swordsmanship unable to catch up with that person?"

Xiao Qianye naturally understood the meaning of the Governor's words, and explained: "That person can resist the wind and get out, I don't know what the origin is, my swordsmanship really can't catch up." ”

"Hmph. Although Gao Chengchuan didn't believe his words, he couldn't refute it, so he turned to look at Gongsun Zhe and continued: "Lord Gongsun, that person took the initiative to sign up for the autumn election, didn't Moge investigate the details?"

Prince Mingxi also came over and defended Gongsun Zhe: "This time it was indeed Moge's mistake, and it was I who was in a hurry, so that Minister Zuo did not have enough time to investigate the details of the candidates. ”

Gao Chengchuan couldn't reply for a while, the autumn election was a matter of the military cabinet, and the personnel were reported by the Mo Pavilion, but the garrison was the garrison of the forbidden army, if this responsibility was to blame, the three parties would not be able to escape!

Xiao Qianye didn't want to argue about right and wrong at this time, and asked, "Your Royal Highness the Prince, how is the situation of the fifth princess now?"

"Probably...... Not so good. Prince Mingxi sighed silently, and kept turning the jade wrench in his hand, "I asked Doctor Zhao just now, and he explained that Shu's legs were crushed and he might be disabled." ”

Before the words fell, a sharp scream came from the Danzhen Palace, followed by the breaking sound of things being knocked to the ground.

Prince Mingxi's face sank, and he walked in directly, and everyone hurriedly followed.

"His Royal Highness the Prince!" the female healer didn't have time to deal with the debris all over the ground, and hurriedly greeted him.

"What's the matter?" Prince Mingxi looked at the apse, the female doctor was sweating profusely, and her tone was crying, "Go back to His Royal Highness the Prince, the fifth princess...... The legs of the fifth princess were crushed, and the palace master Qiao said that he could only amputate his limbs, otherwise his life would be in danger, but at this time, the fifth princess woke up, and happened to hear the words of the palace master, so she refused to live or die, and threw out all the things that the medicine boy was holding in his hand and smashed it......"

"Amputation?" Everyone gasped at the same time, their faces were pale, in order to satisfy the curiosity of the imperial capital, the viewing platform of the autumn election was built higher and higher, and the fifth princess sat in the best position in the front row, and this collapse was all pressed on the body!

Gao Chengchuan pretended to cough a few times, and Minister Zuo also turned his face away in embarrassment.

In the early years, when the autumn election was not as lively as it is today, Xiao Qianye, the lord of the military pavilion, had proposed that the autumn election was an internal matter of the military cabinet, and the trial selection was only for the purpose of merit-based admission, the sword had no eyes, and it was easy to injure the innocent by mistake, and hoped that the ink pavilion and the forbidden army could cancel the war, but the people who couldn't bear the perennial rigorous life in the imperial city were out of breath, and this rare excitement was tacitly accepted by everyone.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, do you want to ...... Why don't you go and persuade the fifth princess, this matter can't be delayed. "The female healer was so anxious that she was about to cry, this life-saving thing can't wait at all!

Prince Mingxi pondered for a long time and nodded: "Qianye, you come in with me." ”

"Yes. Xiao Qianye followed the footsteps of the prince, only to see more than a dozen old doctors surrounded in the apse, gauze, straps, and medicine jars were thrown to the ground, Princess Mingshu grabbed the bed with half of her body, her face was pale, and beads of sweat the size of beans couldn't help sliding down her soft cheeks.

"Mingshu!" Prince Mingxi rushed over, and then looked carefully at the imperial sister's palace skirt, blood stained the bed and flowed down the ground.

"Don't ...... Don't! I don't!" Princess Mingshu pushed the prince away like crazy, covered her face and cried bitterly, "Get out!

Prince Mingxi had no choice but to listen to her, and ordered: "Qiao Yu, Xiao Qianye, you two stay, and the others go outside and wait first." ”

Xiao ...... Xiao Qianye ...... "Princess Mingshu raised her eyes impressively, and only then did she notice that the military pavilion master had stood in front of her.

"You, you go out too!" At this moment, Princess Mingshu felt endless grievances, and two lines of tears flowed down uncontrollably, shouldn't this person be the nemesis of her life? He first refused her father's marriage, which made her lose face, and now she has broken her legs and faces amputation!

"Fifth princess, I'm sorry......" Xiao Qianye didn't know what to say, that sword really hit the viewing platform without his control, which caused the fifth princess to be seriously injured!

"Mingshu, don't mess around. However, Prince Mingxi aggravated his tone, glanced at Xiao Qianye again, and motioned for him to stay.

"Brother ...... Emperor" His Royal Highness the Prince's words seemed to have some deterrent effect, so that Princess Mingshu had to calm down and wring her hands vigorously.

Princess Mingshu bit her lip aggrievedly, but she didn't dare to cry, Mingxi's brother is the crown prince, and he is the most important son of his father, even if he is a brother and sister, he can't be compared with him.

Those veteran ministers outside should be secretly rejoicing now, right? Glad that the injured person was her, not Brother Mingxi, otherwise whether it was the Mo Pavilion, the Military Pavilion, or the Forbidden Army, they would have to pay a terrible price!

"Qiao Yu, is there any other way?" Seeing that the atmosphere had eased up, Prince Mingxi hurriedly asked about the matter, Qiao Yu shook his head in embarrassment, and said, "In order to prevent the collapse of the viewing platform, the viewing platform deliberately used some sea soul stones, which are the kind of things that are chained under the end of the sky, heavy and heavy, and it stands to reason that they will not collapse, but this ...... This doesn't make sense, the Sea Soul Stone smashed the bones, if there was no Mu Xizhao to block it, I'm afraid it would ...... I'm afraid I'll die on the spot. ”

"I don't want ...... Brother Mingxi, you save me, I still ...... I haven't gotten married yet! I'm ......" Princess Mingshu finally couldn't help crying, although the prince was distressed, he also knew that this matter could not be delayed, so he had to pat the royal sister's back and comfort, "You are the princess of the royal family, where you are still worried about getting married?" Listen to the doctor's words, save your life first, and the royal brother will make decisions for you in the future." ”

"You, you lied to me......" Princess Mingshu couldn't help but shake her head, her head was buzzing, her eyes had begun to gradually lose focus, and she was incoherent, "You all lied to me...... Isn't he—Isn't he Xiao Qianye unwilling?"

"Ahem!" Qiao Yu hurriedly poked Xiao Qianye, hinting with a look in his eyes, "Lie to her first, otherwise you will die!"

"I ......" Xiao Qianye hesitated and didn't speak.

"Look! Look at him! He doesn't want to ...... at all" Princess Mingshu laughed as she cried, and then continued to cry, her mind cleared up as if she had returned to the light, "Tell me honestly, what's wrong with me? You should have seen me, right? I've waited for you at the beacon a few times...... You, you haven't even touched me, why did you just refuse? Don't you want to go to heaven in one step?"

Xiao Qianye was silent, he had indeed seen the fifth princess by the beacon tower several times, but he had never spoken once.

"What are you talking about now? Do you want to die?" Prince Mingxi scolded and waved his hand, "Qiao Yu, go and prepare, cut off her leg, it's important to save her life." ”

"No!" Princess Mingshu pushed the prince away hard, and the whole person fell, so frightened that Qiao Yu didn't dare to move, where did he dare to prepare?

"Tsk......" Prince Mingxi frowned, his head hurt, so he had to look at Xiao Qianye and hesitated, "Qianye, or you...... You ...... first"

However, Xiao Qianye didn't want to easily make a promise that he couldn't fulfill at this time, he took a step back, knelt down on one knee, lowered his head and said solemnly: "Fifth princess, I really have a heart, I can't accept you, and I ask for your understanding." ”

This is a salute to the five princesses, and there is no room for rejection!

"Oh! you're really going to make a mess for me!" Qiao Yu pulled him up with a dark face and pushed him out of the door directly.

The fifth princess prostrate on the ground, looking at her dead-like face printed in the blood stains on the ground, and covered her face with her hands in horror.

Prince Mingxi was so anxious that he reprimanded: "What are you still rubbing? If you can't do it, you will faint her and quickly amputate her leg." ”

"Yes, yes!" Qiao Yu reacted at this time, and hurriedly beckoned the medicine boy outside the door to get drunk, Prince Mingxi personally picked up the imperial sister and put her back on the bed, wiped the blood on her face, and sighed, "Do you know what you are doing? You are the princess of the royal family, right?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked three rhetorical questions in a row, forcing the fifth princess not to dare to reply, biting her lip aggrievedly.

Prince Mingxi shook his head and said: "There are many people in the world who want to marry the royal princess, it was the father who was not good back then, and he easily pointed you to marry without knowing the situation of the military pavilion master, I know that you have always been very wronged by this, but you can't be so disregarding your identity! Mingshu, you are obedient and treat your injuries first, and when you are well, if you look at someone's son and young master again, you will tell the imperial brother that the imperial brother will definitely make the decision for you." ”

"Imperial Brother......" Princess Mingshu suddenly quieted down, which made the prince feel a little uncomfortable, and said, "Imperial Brother has always been friendly with Tianzheng Mansion, have you also seen the person who belongs to the military pavilion master?"

Prince Mingxi hesitated for a moment, but saw the awe-inspiring hatred in Mingshu's eyes, which made him gasp.

After a long time, Prince Mingxi sighed and said earnestly: "Mingshu, don't be angry with the innocent. ”

As soon as the words fell, Qiao Yu knocked on the door, poked his head in, and whispered: "His Royal Highness the Prince, the Star Saintess is here." ”

"Oh?" Prince Mingxi got up and walked out in confusion, outside the door, the Star Saintess was bent on her back, the black cat on her shoulders tilted her head, and said in a strange voice, "If Your Highness is relieved, let me persuade the fifth princess." ”

He was naturally not at ease, but at the moment he was helpless, so he had to let go of his body and said, "There is a Laoxing Holy Maiden." ”

The black cat "whoosh" and got back into the wide robe, and the Star Saintess bowed slightly and dragged into the room.

"Who are you, who are you?" Princess Mingshu looked at this strange person, a little frightened, the Star Saintess raised her face slightly, and the prosthetic leg made of dead wood under the robe pressed the faceless mask on her face, and gently unveiled it.

"Ah......" Princess Mingshu shrank into the bed in panic, and even ignored the sharp pain from her severed feet for a while, holding her breath and not daring to look at her directly.

It was a face bitten by poisonous insects, ugly, only a hosta on her head could barely guess that it was a woman, her huge eyes seemed to be directly buckled into the eye sockets, her nose seemed to have been bitten off by something, and the corners of her mouth cracked to reveal a broken tooth!

Then, the Star Saintess slowly untied her robe, and finally revealed her true face, she was only half a person tall, empty below her knees, but she was still dressed in a gorgeous purple-gold palace robe, and even embroidered with a delicate phoenix totem with gold thread, which contrasted sharply with her ugly face.

A terrifying smile appeared on the broken face of the Star Saintess, and she shook her hand, and Princess Mingshu found that her left hand was a dead wood prosthesis, her right hand was half a hand, and the bare white bones could be seen on the back of her hand, which was very infiltrating.

"Phoenix Totem...... Who are you, who are you?" Princess Mingshu asked nervously, and the Star Saintess opened her mouth and made a "yaa" sound, her vocal cords had already been cut off, and she was unable to speak.

The black cat tilted its head, took the opportunity to jump on the bed, and a pair of round eyes looked at Mingshu with horror, and finally spoke: "I am your eldest aunt, Mingyu." ”

"Auntie......" Before Princess Mingshu could react for a while, the black cat continued, "You don't have to think of me now, but if you don't saw these legs now, you won't be able to think of me in the future." ”

"Amputation ......" Mingshu was stunned, still unable to believe that she would face such an ending.

"My hands and feet have been cut off, and even my appearance has been bitten by poisonous insects, but I still have to live, do you know why?" The Star Saintess dragged her body a little closer to Mingshu with her hands, and bewitched through the mouth of the black cat, "Because life is more important than anything else, if I die, will I be a little sad and sad to become such a person?" hahaha...... No, not only will it not, but it will also breathe a sigh of relief, glad that it has gotten rid of a big trouble. ”

“......”

"I pretended to be crazy and stupid, everyone thought I was just a puppet with no mind, do you know why I did this?"

"I—I don't know. Mingshu swallowed at the mouth, nervous, but there was a trace of inexplicable expectation in her heart, expecting this person to continue.

"Because revenge is too hard. The Star Saintess made no secret of it, and said something that confused the fifth princess, "That person is nowhere to be found, and I don't have his whereabouts, so I can only wait for him to return and fall into the net...... You are the same, the fourth brother doesn't look down on you as the fifth princess at all, whether you break your leg or lose your life, to him it is like a stranger who died, your life is worthless. ”

The fifth princess was silent, she knew that what the Star Saintess said was right, the only child her father cared about in her heart was Brother Mingxi.

"The girl who belongs to the master of the military pavilion actually happens to have some relationship with me. The black cat grinned, revealing a chill, and the Star Saintess finally said her purpose, "If you want to get the heart of the Pavilion Master, you have to stay alive, as long as you are willing to help me, I will definitely let the girl in his heart ...... 10,000 times more miserable than you are now. ”

The Star Saintess's tone was actually unfazed, but that calm carried countless resentments, which was more frightening than gritting teeth.

Princess Mingshu's eyes wandered, she secretly clenched her fists, and asked in a low voice, "How can I help you?"

"Heh......" The Star Saintess smiled as she wished, and stepped forward, although she couldn't speak, she still tried her best to put her lips to Princess Mingshu's ear.

"This ......" Princess Mingshu's eyes widened in disbelief.

"How?" she asked, Deadwood's left hand had moved to her heart.

"Good. Princess Mingshu did not perceive the killing intent of the Star Saintess, but finally made up her mind, she endured the pain and lifted her dress, gritted her teeth and touched her legs, and said in a low voice, "Please ask the Star Saintess to help call the Danzhen Palace Lord to come in, I ...... I agree to amputate these legs. ”

Before the words fell, the tears could no longer be stopped.

"Good. The Star Saintess quietly retracted the deadwood prosthetic, put on her robe and buckled her mask again, and dragged her out of the room.

Outside the door, the Butterfly in Gongsun Yan's sleeves flapped its wings, and Gongsun Yan frowned and looked at the Star Saintess vigilantly-I can't hear it, I can't hear it at such a close distance from the Butterfly Valley! What is the origin of this Star Saintess, and what did she say to Princess Mingshu?

"The princess has agreed, please Danzhen Palace Master as soon as possible, don't lose your life. The black cat was still yin and yang, and the Star Saintess bowed to His Royal Highness the Prince, and then retreated.

"Quick. Qiao Yu hurriedly ran in with the medicine boy and closed the door.

Prince Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't have time to care about what the Star Saintess said, and continued to ask, "Minister Zuo, Governor Gao, are there any other casualties?"

"Back to Your Highness, there are still a few seriously injured people who are being healed. Minister Zuo didn't have time to breathe a sigh of relief, and when he was asked by the prince, he broke out in a cold sweat, in fact, in addition to the fifth princess, the lord of Haoyue in the sixth prince's mansion was also not lightly injured, and there were also people from various mansions who came to join in the fun, and they were all injured in this smash, and they were all in Danzhen Palace for first aid.

Gao Chengchuan thought about it for a while, and then remembered his subordinate Mu Xizhao.

Xiao Qianye reminded coldly: "Is Governor Gao looking for Mu Xizhao? I have already asked Twilight Cloud to take him to treat his injuries first, he is the sword under the Governor's hand, so don't wear it out easily." ”

"Hmph......" Gao Chengchuan snorted coldly and said politely: "Thank you for the trouble of the military pavilion master, it's just that this viewing platform was collapsed by your sword, do you still have to explain to Your Majesty in person?"

"I'll go and explain it to my father. Prince Mingxi obviously didn't want to make trouble, and said, "Minister Zuo, Governor Gao, you go to check the details of that Huangyan now, and after finding out, order the forbidden army to seal off all the wasteland where he is located." ”

"Yes. ”

Prince Mingxi turned to Xiao Qianye again and ordered: "Pavilion Master, this autumn's election of the White Tiger is about to be vacant, let's be vacant for the time being, you go to the Weeping Snow Plateau first to solve the rebellion of the Holy Moon Clan." ”

"Yes. Xiao Qianye naturally understood His Royal Highness the Prince's original intention, and responded quietly.

"Gongsun Yan, prepare some gifts, and send them to the mansions in a while, so let's take them as condolences. ”

"Yes. Gongsun Yan was about to take the opportunity to withdraw, but when he walked to the door, a flirtatious figure rushed in from outside, followed by dozens of domestic servants, and surrounded the Danzhen Palace at once, and the sixth prince was out of breath and asked, "Where is Ah Yue?

"Sixth Emperor Uncle, don't worry, Haoyue is inside, it's no big deal. Prince Mingxi hurriedly comforted him and helped the sixth prince to walk to the back hall.

"Hey, I said why are you so careless!" The sixth prince complained, and it was not easy to accuse too much, the prince smiled, "Blame me, blame me, don't worry." ”

Before the words fell, the county lord of Haoyue had already heard the sound and ran out, she had gauze tied on her forehead, there were abrasions on her face, and the clothes she had not had time to change were worn out and covered with dust.

"Ah Yue, ......" The sixth prince didn't care to talk to Prince Mingxi anymore, and sighed in distress while holding his daughter.

"Daddy, I'm fine, but...... But Sister Ashu ...... Woo woo...... "The county lord of Haoyue grabbed the sixth princess, and couldn't help crying anymore, and the sixth prince asked nervously, "Fifth princess, what's wrong with the fifth princess?"

Prince Mingxi shook his head, but said perfunctorily: "Sixth Emperor Uncle, I'll explain to you later, Haoyue was a little surprised, you quickly take her back to the mansion to change into clean clothes and rest, and when it is a little free, I will personally go to the Jingwang Mansion to make amends to you." ”

"Okay, okay, Ah Yue, don't cry, go back with your father first, be good. The sixth prince simply followed his wishes, waved his hand at the servant, and scolded anxiously, "What are you doing standing stupidly, come over and help the county lord up, your hands and feet are light, if you hurt again, you will all be punished!"

"Hey!wait!" Haoyue's eyes purred, and she ran to Xiao Qianye, muttering in a low voice, "You, are you going ......to leave again?"

"What do you send, you're hurt like this! You hurry home and stay honestly, don't go anywhere, you ......"

"Daddy!"

The sixth prince scolded angrily, and couldn't stand his daughter's coquettish stamping, so he had to hold back the words in his mouth.

Xiao Qianye was helpless and replied: "I'll leave early the day after tomorrow, the county lord should take care of his injuries, there is no need to send it." ”

"The day after tomorrow...... I remembered. Haoyue didn't hear his words at all, "You wait for me! You must wait for me to come before leaving!"

"Good. Xiao Qianye nodded, I didn't expect him to agree so easily, the cheeks of the county lord of Haoyue were crimson, the sixth prince couldn't stand it anymore, her daughter was eleven years old!

"Let's go, let's go!" the sixth prince urged impatiently, and Haoyue followed the servant into the carriage, and raised the curtain and waved her hand from afar.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, the old minister also retired first. Gao Chengchuan also said goodbye to Mingxi and evacuated Danzhen Palace with the forbidden army that had been waiting at the door.

"His Royal Highness the Prince, then I will go first. Xiao Qianye followed with interest, but as soon as he stepped out of the Danzhen Palace with his front foot, a small butterfly fluttered its wings in his ear and whispered, "Pavilion Master, something is following you, please be careful yourself." ”

"Oh?" he glanced at suspiciously, and the butterfly quickly smoked and returned to Gongsun Yan's sleeve.
